Everyone knows I hate knitting But I will never stop repeating it. At least now I got another Suffering with me. I told the queen the emperor Loves woolen socks So she should prepare her gift Before arriving. I selected the appropriate colours And appropriate patterns. Though I am not sure How well these will turn out. [Pre-chorus] The queen tells me, in strict confidence She hasn't knitted for quite some time. I say it doesn't matter after all: What counts is the intent. [Chorus] Clink-clink-clink, Knit-knit-knit, We're soon be back to earth. Oh, relief, oh mirth!... [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2] His Majesty is quite the hunk. Hopefully, the new empress Will learn to appreciate him, As we all appreciate him. His Majesty is brave and wise For selecting such a wife, One that is making him a scabbard. The queen tells me She fancied Rocky. I only nod acquiescently. She better stay far from him. [Pre-chorus] The queen tells me These two are a mystery And she didn't expect them to be So apt to pass all her tests. I tell her - in strict confidenctiality: Men will always remain a mystery.

That's what you get with me And neither Rocky nor Winnie Dare to complain about it. [Pre-chorus] The auto-pilot will soon be turned off. I hear the men complaining The water has cooled down. They have splashed the whole room. Who's gonna manhandle the broom? Gotta trick the queen To handle it. Since I have a co-sufferer, Best to make best use of her. [Last chorus, max intensity, drum rolls building tension] [buildup] Clink-clink-clink, Knit-knit-knit, We have entered earth's atmosphere. [release] There is no place like home, Nor will it ever be, Don't ye know? [start fade out, slow down] [Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [end]
